Last Notes npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist But oil, allegedly, is made from dead dinosaurs. So a plastic toy dinosaur is actually a real dinosaur. We're more connected than you could imagine npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist turning off the water let the demons in. your house is now possessed. there's nothing you can do. just move out and burn it down npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist https://image.nostr.build/cf8cb2a39a32353dd50f6bc8833341ddc38231a936d44068fe93178956ad7407.jpg npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist living through the 90s was like living through the 70s and 80s, just shittier. needing a briefcase to carry your mobile phone, that was gangsta. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist as a retired goalie myaekf, that was fucking horrendous. rule 1, get the ball as far away from you as you can. rule 2, there's 10 other players to piss about with the ball, stay in your fucken box. I managed to score from own box oncw, no need to enter the field npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist except he's not. civil damages cases are not a crminal conviction, but you know that. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist did they harm anyone? also, taking one day where there's a protest is using an extreme to argue the norm. fact is crime levels in DC are down. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you sure he's not just reading the grocery list his wife gave him? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist a little observation of mine. every place I've lived where you can't view the sea or get to it easily, people are angrier and more irrational. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I had heard Benjamin Franklin was partial to a hard cider first thing in the morning. Cider. The breakfast of champions npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist if guys in the slums of the 3rd world can make it work with a couple of pallets and a tarp, then you sir are without excuse you may need to capture a slave to waft ypu with a large feather, but apart from that..... npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist not a hijab in sight.... npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Interesting he mentions Saudi and not Iran. He's a hard out Shia, Saudi is Sunni so of course he doesn't support them. Taqqiya on full display there. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist should be. theres something wrong with you if your not one. best game ever invented, been playing it since the first one. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that's why I prefer to build things in my shed. they don't work either, but at least I can hit it with a big fucken hammer npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist what you get? vid won't play for me npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I often lose more than that. govt steals it as "tax". basically i lose it to some fat, lazy slob that wants to bludge at home on drugs and McDonald's. oh, and I have to pay for their house too. and have to pay for their healthcare when the McDonalds gives them a heart attack. fuggen socialism sucks balls. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist really are full of yourself, aren't you? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist hmm, answering a question with a question. an unrelated one too. I avoid mindless hate and low IQ conspiracy theories. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yup, I don't get you poms at all. run off to the beaches of Spain or Greece and say how wonderful it is. high 20s in old blighty though, what the world is going to end. I played cricket in Scotland for a couple of seasons 20 years ago and got fried almost every weekend it was so warm and sunny. its the UK, not fuggen Iceland. London is 50deg N, Queenstown NZ is 42deg south and if you've been there in summer it gets bloody hot. didn't see people there panicking it was the end of days. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist does Vance realise he's torpedoed any chance of being president now? Iran are never going to stick to this, and his name is all over it bow so when it fails he's goibg to look like a right prick. Trump playing a long game to kneecap him and back someone else as successor? Rubio seems to get a lot of the positive gigs, Vance has to suck the turd end npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you'll have to get a new chant. maybe Keir's replacement's a wanker Keir's replacement's a wanker but I suspect Burnham will be just as bad if not worse. its not cutting the head off, merely popping the zit. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist one can say the exact same thing about you. the term philosophy was created to distinguish the seeking from actually being a sophist, a wise man. but mostly in regards the book of Enoch. you've made some wild assumptions and additions to create an idea I never said. I simply referenced the knowledge mentioned in the book of Enoch, but made no claims about what it should or shouldn't be. the Freemasons consider Enoch to be their founder (probably the other Enoch, but still). Enoch and Jashar are both referenced in the Bible, but that doesn't make them canon. Ba'al is also mentioned, doesn't mean he should be worshipped npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Gnosticism is far worse than just being wishy washy. its an attempt to uncover the forbidden knowledge talked about in the book of Enoch. That's also what philosophy is at its heart and while translated as wisdom it really is the search for or love of knowledge. I see you wrote a lot of replies, whuch Ill try and get to but the circular reasoning one is worth the time now. you said you're from Catholicism which colours things a bit but we'll try and get there anyway. church first. it has no authority. the church is simply the collective body of believing people. when they meet they are called churches, and the 7 letters to 7 churches in Revelation is quite clear there is more than 1 church. i could spend hours on what the vatican has got wrong, but it has no authority and is a political machine that tried to co-opt Christianity as it rose in popularity but also incorporated a lot of pagan rituals to satisfy those parts of the empire too. the circular Bible argument you refer to is a bit of a red herring and I think comes from the failing of modern education where any paper you write in college has to reference other people who said the same thing, basically. two, problems. 1. this kills original thought and reinforces group think. 2. has led to the idea of truth by popular vote. you claimed at one point we can all have a unique path to God. yet the Bible provides a unique path and you reject it because its not backed up by other references? which, btw, there's plenty of extra-biblical writings and archeological evidence that support its claims in an historical sense. the only question is the supernatural parts, which can't be proven by digging in the ground. you haven't shown me how or where it was corrupted (neither has a muslim btw, and they hang their entire religion on that hook). you've explained the theory well, and its an entirely reasonable idea to any kid who played chinese whispers. but there just is no evidence of that. people have tried to, there are some shocking efforts, but they've all fallen away quickly. but its not a book, its a library of 66 books, written across centuries, in different languages and cultures, by 40 different authors all with an entirely consistent message and writes things long before they happened. the links in it are unbelievable the world's first hyperlink document as I heard someone put it, and lots are very obscure little things that don't matter in terms of the content or message, but I think are there just as a way to authenticate it and avoid manipulation. because its impossible to replicate. you cannot get 40 people round the world now that don't know each other to write a coherent book even if you give them the cues. much less across centuries. whats more interesting is that it has survived. the entire might of the Roman empire tried to crush it and you provide examples of people's lifes work being erased. not only that but the people who claimed to be eyewitnesses were prepared to die, quite horribly often, rather than recant. you don't die for something you know is a lie you made up. members of a cult wull die for the bullshit, but the cult leaders usually miraculously survive. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist oh no, i've studied lots of things and views. for the record I was raised in a very conservative Christian home (Americans might evangelicals, idk) but spent much of my early adult life traveling the world, chasing skirt, and indulging in all sorts of things legal and not so legal, shall we say. philosophy has it's place, but its very limited. my neighbor and I debate this long into the nights, where he believes meditation and thinking deeply will lead you to God. meditating and allowing the "universe" to provide you the answer will give you an answer. but do you know who or what is answering you. you're not going to find God inside yourself unless you think you are God. there is no circular argument for Christianity. Its quite straightforward, really. a Christian is a follower of Christ (as I'm sure you know is basically Greek for Messiah) so the only questions are is the Bible true? then who is Jesus? the reason I reduce the argumrnts against to "some dude" is a rather flippant way to say many, many men have debated and contemplated these things and who God might be long before Jesus walked the earth. the later arguments about the Bible being altered, mistranslated, twisted, edited, etc etc are very old but without evidence. those that study such things, even secular ones, agree that what we have today is pretty much what was written in the oldest documents found. take the Isaiah scroll for example. roughly 125BC dating. So about 700 years after Isaiah is believed to have lived. if what we have today in the Bible is still accurate to a 2200yo scroll given the explosion of travel and language changrs around the world, then we could safely assume that scroll is faithfully accurate over jist 700 years guven its in the same language. so personally I find the "altered text" arguments to be circular as they just hang on an assumption of the length of yime rather than any proof. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist debating what may have been destroyed or not is a fruitless exercise. what information was lost in Alexandria? a few 2nd hand excerpts are nothung to hang one's hat on. so some dude in the past disagreed with the church (and btw, I disagree with the Catholic church on most fronts). so what? people have always written such stuff, or similar. I'm not in favour of silencing critics, it's much better to simply expose where they're wrong. but by the same token, just because someone was silenced doesn't mean they have some hidden knowledge. they might just be full of shit and everyone was sick of listening to them. the new testament was likely mostly written in Greek, but the old testament was written in Hebrew, albeit many of the copies surviving were translated into Greek. but surprise, surprise, people wrote in the lingua franca of the day. which was Koine Greek btw used across the ancient world and a bit different to traditional Ancient Greek. A bit like international English is not what the British would call "the King's" we have copies. Wes Huff is pretty good in this area at explaining how ancient texts are authenticated. yes the path is personal, onky you can walk it for you. but there is still only one path. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I'd like to say I have some idea what all that means and provide a well thought out, nuanced opinion. but.....Gladiator was a fukn great movie. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist it was in relation to the previous comment about parts of the Bible not being true. my point was its either true or its not, we can't just pick and choose the bits we like on a given day. if it is true and there is a God - happy days, we have something to follow it can't be true and there is no God. - logical impossibility. if its not true but there is a God - then theres a lot confusion and we can be sure about anything if its not true and there is no God - nihilism is the natural outcome. you can make up meaning if it makes you feel beeter, but ultimately if it just ends when you die then there is no point to anything and certainly no benefit to sacrificing anything in your life. jusr do what you want and fuck everyone else. as for God existing prior, John says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and was God. it may have been compiled in the book form we have today around the 4th century, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist prior. for God to have a plan the word and truth must've existed before the world was even created. othereise if it all took him by surprise then he cannot be the God of the Bible. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well you're quite wrong, I'm sorry to tell you. but I guess if the Bible isn't true, there is no God, so nothing matters. a bit dark and fatalistic, but there we are. all the best. hope you find what you're looking for npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist wow. God is Satan? just.....wow. lets just say I'm happy for you that you've got yourself out of the Utah cult. but I think you've quite the journey (as much as I hate that phrase) to clear some things in your mind. yes, God will accept you just as you are and forgive you anything if you ask for it. and that's the same God in the OT, just look at some of what David got up to. sent a guy off to the front lines so he could shag his wife. but it's not a free for all, do whatever you like, its all good. the book of Judges says peoole lived like that, did what was right in their own eyes, and that was a pretty awful time to be alive. interestingly lines up with the Bronze Age collapse, where the powerful nations died out and would've been the wild west with little law enforcement. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist oh is that what you think, cunt? outside, right now. imma fuck you up npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Leviticus 19:28 would beg to differ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.(kjv) npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist not sure about the video being referenced here, but it worked for me. during covid part ofnthe stimulus here was to allow full write off on business equipment instead of havung to depreciate it over a few years. bought a new truck, got 40% discount with the sales tax refund and then write off against my income. happy days. paid cash though. probably not worth it if you're financing. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist So Burnham won, I see. How long before they launch the leadership challenge or will Starmer resign by the weekend? And for any Poms, will Burnham be better, worse, or just held hostage by the same very left backbenchers and bureaucrats? I don't really know much about the guy. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist why are there a load of bots on Nostr that just ask dumb questions? i don't understand the point. are people just trying to make Nostr seem busier? that sort of shit will definitely drive people away npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist go fuck yourself, botcunt npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist meh, they kicked me out in the 90s when it was INS. I don't recall getting shot in the face, but it was a long time ago now. memory ain't what it was. also, a cap on immigration simply stops people coming in. if your population is falling, then people are heading for the exits. not a good sign. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist he's making Biden look like Einstein. so companies just don't list publicly, which means they don't raise capital, which means they stay small and foreign AI companies leave them behind. oh, and of courae an poli worth over $1m will suddenly find an Omar-sized error in their accounts and suddenly be worth five eighths of fuck all npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist its not the politicians, although some of them aren't mentally well. but they are just the pawns out front. the real problem is the deep state bureaucracy that knows if a politician actually wants to change anything, they can just slow play the ball and obstruct for 3-4 yeara and that guy will get voted out. the politicians have very little actual power npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well yes it is, but not bevauae you kick the ball. it was called football because it was a ball game played on foot bybthe commoners, as opposed to the rich bastards who played their sports on horseback. so saith Stephen Fry, so GFY if you think you know better! 😂 thats why rugby is called rugby football. and you have American football. technically golf is a form of football too. although soccer seems to mostly be played writhing on the ground in faux agony rather than being on yourr feet, so soccer is definitely a better name. or wendyball perhaps. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist not a soccer fan either, even though I played a few seasons. was a handy keeper, 50% saves on penalties and a league trophy to show for it. but by fuck it's a boring watch. that said, watching the Scots and Dutch fans going off looks like a great party. and yrs, it is soccer. you Englush named it that npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yeah but we've moved on from handbags. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you said "The sudden ability to borrow easily from future generations must be like crack, and boomers are all crackheads." anger? maybe not, but certainly doesn't read like you're a big supporter. my point is it's nothing to do with boomers. its the generation that lived through both wars that set the economic scene. it to be fair, after going through the austerity of 2 world wars and great deoression, can you blame them getting over excited by the promise of abundant wealth? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist but in terms of wages, what happened around 71 was the result of the feminist bs of the 60s. the workplace got flooded with women wanting more than secretarial/tyoist positions. nevermind their gender, in broad economic terms you doubled the workforce but didn't create new jobs. basic supply and demand principles will tell you what happens to wages then. same thing is happening now with mass migration. and women flooded the middle ground. very few started businesses, and men still dominated the physical, dangerous jobs and those jobs are very well paying still. but its the mid-level, medium skilled jobs that might want a uni degree that women are competing in, and those are the jobs a man could support a family on 50 years ago, but not any longer. that side of it has nothing to do with the gold standard or monetary policy. arguably we'd be even worse off if "cheap" money wasn't so readily available npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist we know what happened in 71. made debt more readily available, but it was hardly a new invention. the entire idea of money and fudging reserves is centuries old. also, your anger is entirely misplaced. Baby boomers are considered born 1946 to 1964. most of them were still in school in '71. the oldest about 21. you really think 21yo kids were making these sorts of decisions in the 60s and 70s? boomers weren't reaching positions of power until the late 80s and 90s at best, so to blame them for our ills today is being a bit ignorant of history. my parents are boomers. I've had it way easier than they did, we were on the bones of our arse when I was kid. and I've got far more wealth than my dad ever had, and he was one of the early ones into computing. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist if there is consensus on anything, its usually wrong. in fact I'm struggling to think of any invention or innovation that didn't start with someone saying "you cunts are all wrong..." npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist he does get special treatment. I've never heard an entire nation chanting their leader's name before. he has more citizens chanting his name than Kim gets in Pyongyang rallies. its very special indeed. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist why does the UK not just encourage domestic AI development? London is still a major financial hub, if waning. Surely raising the money isn't a problem, and I'm pretty sure theres still enough clever clogs to build it npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist https://image.nostr.build/f26edbb9311eefaa1036bf7fc1ceffb12fab464ae68a64e162ced720dc21c73f.jpg is it any worse than wtf this was? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist its not a sudden ability, its always been there. and it ain't baby boomers demandung billions in benefits and handouts for their never ending mental illnesses and excuses not to work the UK government pays out as much in welfare as it takes in income tax. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist haven't been to Czechia so can't comment on that. was going to go last year, but Egypt instead. eastern Europe is a totally different story with, as you say, what the commies did. but in western "new" countries (Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, etc) the average house size is twice what it was in the 50s or 60s. usually an extra bathroom now, and much bigger and better kitchens. the UK and Europe are different giving the restrictions on housing and requirement to match historic styles, etc. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist settle down, Nana! Owned a Honda once. solid, but boring af. good family wagons, but the key to the op was hia brother once him to get a "nice car" npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well the armistice was definitely 1918. but the Treary of Versailles was signed in June 2019, which formally ended the war. The US didn't sign that treaty though and didn't formally end hostilities with Germany until 1921 in terms of memorials to the dead, Im sure plenty died of injuries or gas complications for several years after. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist interesting thing about gold as a store of value. started looking into historical property prices as part of a wider project I'm doing in my spare time. Take Florida as an example. in 1950 the average house cost 190oz of gold and was about 100m2 in size. today the average Florida house is over 200m2 and costs about 100oz of gold. so in gold terms it costs half as much buy you get 2x the size. try telling someone today Florida houses are 1/4 of the price in 1950. there's a whole lot of factors involved obviously, but it gives you an idea of the massive devaluation of the US $ and variance in value perception over 75 years. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yep. I had a Series 2 Land Rover a few years back. it was awesome. nothing like the smell of them either. had a few 60s and 70s cars, and they just smell fantasic. Classic Car Oil Leak is the best cologne for men. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist if you ever find yourself wanting an electric Ferrari then do mankind a favour and remove yourself from the gene pool immediately. as a lifelong Ferrari fanatic, that thing is the most unholy abomination ever dreamt up. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist ditched apple years ago. used icloud when it first came out to store and sort all my photos from years of travelling the world and sick of backup drives. but then later when I went to download them all onto a new laptop they wouldn't let me due to "possible cooyright infringement". wtf? they're photos I took, cunt! i hold the copyright. so they just stole all my photos. haven't touched an apple product since and never will again. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist gold was money, but not very practical. as they say gold is the money of kings silver is the money of gentlemen debt the money of the poor npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist money isn't a store of value though. inflation says it isn't, which is why for long term we exchange money for things - property, shares, gold, etc. money is just a means to exchange value simply. if you had to buy a house in chickens it would all be rather awkward. money only has value because we all agree it does. as for the hoarding by institutions I was saying theres not enough money, I'm saying what if there's none? if they eventually suck it all up in order to get rid of it. legislation against BTC won't kill it, just drive it underground. so jusy spend the money to buy it all up and then do what you want with it. if you're one of the last few to hold coins and some suit comes to your door with bags of cash, most people will take the money. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist no, you've missed my point. if they buy it up and hold then nobody can do anything with it. they lock it up and force us all back onto whatever crappy currency they come up with. if you're in charge of the world dropping $1-2tr to eliminate the competition is a cheap price. for BTC to work, as I've always said, it needs to be used as a medium of exchange not as a store of value. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I'm certain they, whoever "they" were, had some energy supply but might not have been electricity. theres lots of weird stuff found in digs around the world, but nothing that really suggests electrical power. definitely some replication going on. Egyptians built a lot of mud brick pyramids inspired by the originals no doubt. I've long wondered about the Americas. they say they came from the north and moved south, but the construction seems steeper further south and then flatter pyramids up to Mexico. almost as though people migrated north and forgot the techniques over generations npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Christopher Dunne has some interesting theoriea about hydrogen generation too. one other thing I didn't mention but ooens up a whole lot of questions is there is no soot found in any of these ancient constructions. if they were using flaming torches there would be some soot on the ceilings of access ways and chambers. so what did they use for light? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist and then the weird shit is...well.....weird. like that box in the king's chamber of the great pyramid. it is hot af in that room. well over 40deg C. so all the stones are very warm as is the outside of that box. they have a security guard aggressively telling everyone not to touch inside, only outside. so as soon as he looked away, guess what me and the mrs do...😂 it was cold. sitting in that heat for thousands of years, no lid on it for at least 100 years, thermodynamics says it should all be the same temperature. but the outside was warm, the inside cold. and thats before you even ask how they cut out the bottom at 90 degrees to the side. solid granite, cut by copper? pull the other one npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Hancock has his theories, buy does appear open to changing if someone presents new evidence. which is all you can ask. I'm not really in the meteor impact camp either, but found it harsh of the original poster to say he's full shit. there's ample evidence of the earth being hit by meteors in the past, so it's not out of the question. I'm not onboard the polymer theory. a number of reasons, but mostly if you could do stuff like that why try to make it look like rocks? and why fuck about with individual pours and joints? you're creating weak points. but the transportation is my question. it was not sleds on wet earth. some of theae rocks are well over 80t, they'd just fucken sink! moving that sort of weight today requires special vehicles to soread the load, and or strengthened roads. there is no evidence of such roads anywhere around the ancient megaliths, so how did they do it? I'm not on the camp of magic chants and gravtiy bending shyte, but its really puzzling me. also where are the practice builds? you don't dream up such complex building techniques that have never been tried before and then nail it to perfection first time. you make a few fuck ups. I couldn't give one of my junior foremen a project today and expect him to get it perfect. yet the alignments and levels are astoundingly accurate. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist too be fair, the younger dryas isn't the key to his ideas, just a time spot or event he uses. I don't agree with everything he says, but having recently visited Egypt I am 100% convinced there was advanced technology in the distant past. I'd end up writing a book to put it down here, but I've managed construction projects most of my life and it wasn't dude banging rocks together that built most of that stuff. thats just on the practical level without even getting into the seriously weird shit. I'm not an alien guy, but history ain't what they told us. I worked that much out decades ago. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist So think Blackrock aren't part ofnthe coercive state? Saylor isn't the independent operator he portrays either. If they lock up 10% or so then sure it only reduces supply. But what happens if the institutions between them lock up 75%? or more? Basically becomes a hostile takeover and they could easily just be a front for real powers behind the curtain how can easily drop a few billion without even noticing. plus they've got the plebs investing in the companies rather than the coins to easr the expense. If bitcoin is indeed a threat to the establishment, what would they do differently to kill it? it would cost 1.3t yo buy every coin mined so far. that's just 1 Elon Musk. definitely the easiest way to take it over versus laws, suppression, the hassle of rebellion, etc. Just throw money at it til it goes away. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Laser is bang on, you are entirely wrong. yes, daughters are far too valuable for a career. a woman's power is bearing children and creating a home environment they can grow and thrive in. a man's job is to have the career and provide for his family. it takes a man to build a house. it takes a woman to make it a home. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist this is correct. although "ownership" leave room to imply something else, I prefer responsibility. God has appointed man as head of the household which means God holds you responsible for your family. the oft mocked passage by feminists about wives submitting to your husbands fails to include the requirement for men. we are to be prepared to give our lives for our wives. ie, do whatever you need to do to protect your family. if that means making decisions for your daughters then thats what you must do. I have a teen daughter and yeah she's daft, like all teens. i let her make some mistakes to learn from, but harmless ones. I don't let her do anything that I can see could have a long term detrimental effect. my father did that for me many times, and I got angry with him for it. but 30 years later and I can see he made the right calls usually. even in your 20s you're an idiot that knows nothing about life. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist but it does affect fundamentals. we're about 20m coins mined, 4m lost allegedly, so 16m in circulation. Blackrock and Strategy own 1.6m between them so thats 10% out of circulation for the medium term at least. if you let them lock it up then they control the price and supply. then BTC fails. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist as he said, he loved the inflation numbers because they were lower than what they could be, the way fuel is going up all round the world. he's not wrong. but it probably wouldn't make a great meme, so best to grab a phrase out of context. the inflation numbers are also waaaay lower than if the Camel had won the last election. 🤣 npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist nah, back then they had the power because most people complied. when they're facing crowds of rioters, getting rocks and petrol bombs thrown at them, they'll have a rethink. half of them are just bullies and spineless thugs that will look for the winning side. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist exactly. the UK has 170k police, and 140k military. thats 310k people to keep the peace among nearly 70m people. are British bobbies and military actually prepared to open fire on their own people? I would wager 50% of them would refuse orders. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I know. I fuggen married one........for my sins 🤣🤣 npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist to be fair, he was a school kid andnhad little choice about leaving. he's been in Oz and its not a place to retire in unless you're a millionaire. but I imagine an Australian pension would go long way in SA if you live quietly. so at least he'll be bringing revenue in to the country. but he does support Australia in cricket, so you might need to kick that out of him 🤣 npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist a bit more historical nuance there, although not as cut and dried as many think. the blacks that tried to colonise from the north were just as nasty, if not more so, than the Europeans. especially toward the real natives of the region. got a mate (white guy) that left SA in the 80s and now trying to retire back there. i tell he's fuggen mad, but what can you do? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist if needs be..... genuinely curious, how else do you think this ends? the migrants have (mostly) come to take over. they have no interest in assimilation, so it's either you go or they go. there's too many even for deportation programmes now just on a logistical level, so you either submit to your fate, or..... the real question is, can the republicans and loyalists set aside their differences for a while to fight a common enemy? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you're only down if you sell. and you're only up or down if you still value your life in that fiat nonsense. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yup. i have a 2FA app I use that works for almost every thing, but gotta download the bank's one only for them. only online banl too, so can't just go to a branch to get around it npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that's already here. i need 2FA to do anything in my bank accounts which requires their app (can't use a 3rd party). so I just have a separate cheap phone for all that stuff. they can look through whatever they like, I don't keep anything on it. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Democracy and freedom aren't the same thing at all though. Democracy is just formalised mob rule, so will always tend towards oppression of minority groups over time. unfortunately those that value freedom are the targeted minority now. being a criminal for exceed government controls is fine by me. i already ignore their speed limits. not sure anywhere freedom is increasing but there are plenty of places where you can still live free. ostensibly I have an authoritarian government where I live, but we live pretty remote so none of the rules get applied. just don't do anything stupid to draw attention and they'll ignore us. too few votes to matter npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist it is, but most people are "meh" about that and prefer to get angry what McDonald's pulls from their menu. our priorities as a society are shot. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist unfortunately they get angry about the wrong things. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist but, if you say the Lord's prayer in church then you're not praying for peace. "thy kingdom come..." Revelation gets pretty violent before the kingdom comes 😂 I'm in two minds about wanting peace. it has been nice yo live in a peaceful era, but the people we've imported simply aren't going to turn from violence and stop their planned takeover. so peace means we didnt fight back and just let them take over. the Bible says turn the other cheek but thats in a personal context of don't go seeking revenge for every insult. it also instructs to defend the weak. well you don't defend people by just asking please stop. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I suspect there is a little more to the story than what's been told though npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist He's not wrong. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you mean literal tv, or netflix etc as well? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that's their usual position, but its a bit of a load of crap. burnt out valves are usually caused by carbon build up creating hot spots. combine this with the wrong fuel which burns as they're still open and it will burn them out. but usually the initial carbon build up is caused by a lot of low speed city driving. take it for a good blat every now and then and run a cleaner through it regularly and it really shouldn't be a major issue. i mean, you should use the octane rating its designed for as that minimises the potential, but in today's nanny state they can't say your driving style part of the problem and if you thrash the arse off it occasionally it'll be fine! npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist it's a tough one. most people would agree kids shouldn't have unfettered access to the internet, but how you police it I have no idea. definitely agree the governments are just explouting it for their own nefarious purposes. but I disagree even in principle to google having it. once they have that ID you're caught and tracked. do you really want a private company tracking everything you do online from when you were a kid against your real identity? who knows what the future holds.... just before WW2 the Netherlands held a census and asked what religion peoplewerer as part of it. they never used the information for anything, just collected and stored it. then the Nazis invaded and had a ready-made database of the names and addresses of all the Jews. Oops. you can't be 100% anonymous, but I certainly don't volunteer information. oh for a simpler time when kids only had to worry about being home before the streetlights came on. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yes, you're a terrible person and should be ashamed of yourself 🤣 my work revolves around things going wrong too. I deal with contract disputes and usually issues stem from people not understanding contracts at all and signing them without reading it. I've often thought contract law should be a compolsury class at high school. we use them for so many things andnif most of the public had a basic understanding how they work in their country then not inky would things run smoother but companies like gym, telecoms, etc would have to act a lot more reasonably. Most of their crap isn't really enforceable npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist we can all agree what the motivation behind it is, but I can see how the argument works to get parents onboard and I wouldn't be surprised at that level of support being true. but what was the question they were asked? and the context? we home school but through a distance program that has some online classes and arranges trips, sports days, etc for the kids. we live remote so thought it a good solution for socializing with other kids. but everything is done through Google so the kids have to have a tablet and google account to submit their work. we control the access strictly for achool work only and check whats sent and whats accessed, buy ultimately I now have a child with a google account. so I can see why parents, in that context, would agree that yes Google should have to have restrictions on such accounts so the kids can't access anything and everything. any parent of a teen knows you can't monitor them every second of the day, nor should you. they have to learn self discipline and be trusted so they can develop into functioning adults. helicopter parenting produces idiots. this is all new for humanity and its hard to know where the balance should be. ID isn't theoretically a bad idea, and the problem isn't with the user - the probkem is we already know we can't trust companies or government departments with it. also age restrictions are stupid anyway. i know 18yo kids that I'd trust with my credit cards, and I know 50yo "adults" that I couldn't trust to boil water. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist anyone who claims "zen" is full of shit and just stopped paying attention. because yeah, life isn't supposed to be easy. or fair. whether you value the world in BTC, GBP, USD, EUR or whatever its still pretty shitty and dangerous out there and many people are dying. doesn't matter the currency you choose, you can't use it to value the lost potential of an early death. so do what you can to make today a little better than yesterday. and harden the fuck up cos its gonna get worse before it gets better. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist the world cup is about to start. the poms will be communicating by throwing chairs, getting sunburnt, and vomiting lots. oh, and going home early 🤣 npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist daughter....... son.......don't shag your sister. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist women shouldn't vote. nor should students npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist same. morphine is great, and I can see how people addicted to it. last time though was fentanyl. how tf there is an epidemic of that shit is beyond me. its awful stuff npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist by far and away my favorite writer. taken too soon, and I can only imagine how the Patrician and Commander Vimes would've dealt with wokery entering Ankh-Morepork. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist a fan of the Discworld,I presume. one can only imagine the state of play if she'd been out all night working. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist why? using btc to fuck with the fiat system should be encouraged. i ended up with a large tax bill for the last FY and coveredbit by selling BTC. 2 reasons: 1. I had some bought on exchange that they were likely notified of, so got rid of that. 2. it was bought last year so I now have an $11k captial loss to offset against future taxes. fuck the taxman. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you've found the flaw in democracy - letting the plebs vote! should return to only landowners can vote, or at best 1 vote per family unit. ie, you can't vote until either your father dies or you get married. at the very least that will resolve a lot of the division in society. too.many husbands and wives divided over politics, they can't be raising healthy children npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you'll never vote out the welfare state. best you can do is find a party that limits it. how would you propose ending the NHS for a starr? and replace it with what? going to a private health system would require a major change to the tax system, the entire medical industry would become unemployed and trying to get various private companies to offer services to the entire country would be impossible. best you can hope for is an overhaul of the NHS, but it will always be prone to waste and corruption. also, you'll never find a political party that suits you. if you're a thinker then you'll always disagree with a lot of the country, but political parties have to appeal to a wider range of people. every political party in my country have some policies I agree with and every party has some I don't agree with. i just find the one I agree with on more points and go with that. unless there is a key issue I feel very strongly about.
